FreeStyle Strips and Sensor in Asisa

Hello, I am from Adeslas in Madrid and with the endocrine report they give us the glycemia strips, cetonemia, needles for three months and 4 sensors every 2 months.Tell your endocrine because they have to give it to you.

Already, if I have a friend who is in Adeslas and has no problems, I'm going to try to give me the strips asking for a report to the endocrine that I need them apart from the sensors, but if they put on me many problems maybe I end up changing myselfTo Adeslas.

@vanessa30 yes, do give me another glucometer.They gave me one that was a m and I returned it.
It turns out that Abbott's pull is bought for internal nurses use, but not for patients.Before my nurse gave them "foreigners" but since they finance the sensor they no longer give strips of any kind.

That they give very simple glucometers is true, but even if it is only to make comparative with the sensor, you could have it;It wouldn't be more.
It all depends if one could pay for the paying the strips or sensors clear.

And in your health center you can't ask for a glucometer and what are you giving you strips of that?
I say that even if you have a Abbot sensor, the strips and the glucometer do not have the same mark.
I used the sensor, but my glucometer nothing to see with that brand

I am from Barcelona, ​​in the SS the endocrine has told me that if I do not have better glucosilad results, the sensors will finish me.
Can they do it?

I fear that they apply what they know as "adherence to treatment."If you see that you are not able to have good control, they think that what to spend sensors if in the end you are equally evil with them as without them.

I think like @ruthbia: if one is not able, for whatever reasons, to bring it to good control, it needs more external help from health professionals.Even those who have good control have bad days.The important thing is to learn why it was a bad day and act next time.But for that they need data (and the sensor gives many and good) and a good interpreter of that data (educator@ diabetological).

Example: there is a lot of difference between the white baguette white bread and an integral bar "of firewood".Eating the same amount of HC, the first will give you a tremendous peak and the second does not.But if one does not know this, or do not explain it, or do not know what happens when you eat fat cheese and an amount of HC (almost assured peak after several hours and probable down in the short term), because you can hardly get along wellcontrolled the thing.

This does not mean that some are more listings than other, but that they have more knowledge, that they have received training and that they are able to self-control.

I never went down about 6.1 or 6.2 in glycosilada until I started using the sensors.I surprised myself how much I learned when I saw the reaction.Or wait 15-20 minutes when I have a day of sitting in the office and I can't do the usual exercise.

Therefore my recommendation: insists that you have that "adhesion to treatment" and try to explain why what happens happens.Use insulin/hydrates ratios, write down what type of HC shots and what other things accompany food ... give information to the endocrine and educator so they can better guide, and above all, ask them why: you need to be self-sufficient, even knowing that there are good days and others less good.

On the other hand, the norm says that the sensors are for those people with the treatment of multiple punctures of insulin per day, or at risk of serious hypos, and that they need 6 or more capillary measurements per day for good control.It seems that it is your case, so insist on your commitment to good control and do not let the sensors take away.

hello good, I would like to know if someone in this forum is asisa has the freestyle sensor and has tried to ask for strips apart from the sensor.From my point of view they are very necessary especially the first day of the sensor and to check the error because each sensor in a world.The thing is that in Asisa they are where the sensors are given to me they are a bit special and I do not know what to wait if I go and ask tmb strips apart from the sensor, I hope there is no problem but I already wait for anything.So far I have been wearing strips that had been left over when I used them but I don't have left: (.

Hello ... I have asked for throws and have not put any paste, because some sensors give error and even? What are you sent by those days you have to be covered, tell your doctor that I do not think you have problems.

I have 3 Gluclometry of Abbot, one Insulinx and two free freestyle 1. One of the free 1 gave me the SS years ago because mine was found to measure capillaries and ketones.I have prepared it with the SW for Free 2, when they took the free 2 to the market there was no glucometer and there was a SW to update the free 1.

I paid out of my pocket Los Free 1 and 2 for 4 years, so now I buy the strips for the freestyle glucometer, it comes out cheaper than the sensors.I ask them 100 in 100, it does not reach 50 EUR, and they last 1 year or so because I measure me little, I stop measuring as soon as the sensor gives reliable data;I also know my diabetes very well because I use the sensors almost from the debut and I no longer need accuracy, only magnitude to decide.

Hello!!!!I have recently debuted in DM1 Lada and on August 29 I have an appointment with the endocrine ... I already have the form that you have to fill, take a long time to grant the sensor?How many patches do they give you?
I have seen that sometimes they fail?Has it ever happened to you?They put many problems in giving you another if you fail?
Thanks and forgive for the thousand questions☺️
